HomeStation Presents: The Upload, Episode #5
Norse, Mike, Cubes and Jersquall are back with another episode of The Upload – except that this one’s something of a special edition.
This episode of The Upload features an interview with Patrick “Commander Fury” Gross, from Urgent Fury!
For those of you who have been living under a rock: Urgent Fury (www.urgentfury.com) is a remarkable organization devoted to tactical action games, tournaments amongst clans, and much, much more. Of particular note, they recently made it into the PlayStation Home Community Theater with UfreqTV.
From the Urgent Fury website:
Urgent Fury has just announced its expansion into PlayStation®Home only on the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system. Urgent Frequency TV, or UFreqTV, will air its inaugural Episode 1, beginning Thursday 2/17/2011. Each subsequent episode will run in PlayStation Home’s Community Theater for 2 weeks.
Each episode will focus on a variety of topics, such as game reviews, PlayStation news, as well as exclusive interviews with individuals and companies in the gaming industry, community gamers, and teams competing in Urgent Fury’s different tournaments.
In Episode 1, you will learn the origins and focus of Urgent Fury, explore Zipper’s return to SOCOM 4, and finally after a few months on the market, UFreqTV gives another look at Electronic Arts Medal of Honor.
Join Jack “UK” Dellhouse, Wolfie-D and Commander Claymore Fury as Urgent Fury’s newest Videocast team takes Urgent Fury on a new journey into PlayStation Home.
Urgent Fury is an online console-gaming community who has built its impeccable reputation by providing unique, intuitive, and exciting scenario-based TacMap style tournaments. Urgent Fury also has opened the Urgent Fury Gaming League (UFGL) where new and veteran teams will be able to compete against each other on a variety of games. Giving new teams to Urgent Fury a chance to catch a glimpse at the type of gamesmanship that is expected of its members before joining a TacMap event.
Needless to say, we were greatly honored that Urgent Fury consented to be interviewed by HomeStation Magazine, and we’re grateful to be able to deliver a special-edition episode of The Upload to you. Keep an ear out for a couple of questions you don’t normally hear in this sort of interview, including a discussion regarding the Second Amendment!
(Editor’s note: many thanks to Mr. Gross and the team at Urgent Fury for not only being fantastic to work with, but for providing what is, in our view, an extremely valuable service to the Home community and gamers in general. If you haven’t checked out Urgent Fury yet, we highly encourage you to do so.)

In one of those odd synchronistic things that haunt us, I listened to this the same day xkcd addressed empathy and the FPS:

Maybe it’s just as well we don’t know who we’re shooting.
